Public bug reported:

There are upstream optimisations in pixman, based on the ARM NEON
extensions in Cortex-A8 etc.

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/pixman/

The current Karmic version of pixman is based on upstream 0.14.0, which
does not have the NEON support.

It's highly desirable to bring the optimisations into Karmic if
possible, since this is expected to benefit the performance of most
graphical applications to some extent on Cortex-A8.  What's the best way
of bringing in the NEON support for Karmic (which looks to be reasonable
complete from 0.15.8 onwards)?

Note that there appear to have been some ongoing minor fixes committed
to the NEON code between 0.15.8 and the present time.
